Trying to get more info on an album

OK, so I own a version of this classical Japanese album. I got it at a record show years ago. However, I can't find any info about my particular pressing online. The album itself doesn't have a date on it. The back of the album is black - no info. The only info is what is on the front outer sleeve and on the label (below). I wouldn't be surprised if this were part of a box set; the outer sleeve is thin and with the black back, it could be part of a set that came with printed information.

Any advice as to where I should turn next? Searching online just gets me the Discogs 1979 version.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice!

@dollar and @elifunk are the most knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff around here. @eli only pops in once and a while but if you have Instagram you can reach out to him on there @onioncuore is his handle

I think your suspicions were right red-eye

I think your record is 1 of 3 LP's from this box set

The JVC stickers are interesting,.as this is usually a thing when a record is sold to another label in another country, is that right?

I really like what I've heard of Ifukube's classical works

Would love this on vinyl.

By jove, that was mighty fast, $hyde! I think you nailed it, especially with that second link and the last photo on that page. A few years of searching, figured out in a night! Thanks again!
